Answer: Asteroid
Notes: A small asteroid named 2024 PT5 will temporarily orbit Earth from September 29 to November 25, 2024. It is also known as a "mini-moon". It changes its path due to Earth's gravity. It was detected by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on August 7, 2024. It likely originated from the Arjuna asteroid belt, which contains rocks orbiting near Earth. 2024 PT5 is expected to return in January 2025 and again in 2055. It will provide valuable data on near-Earth asteroids, helping predict future encounters and impacts. Asteroids are small, rocky or metallic objects that orbit the Sun, distinct from planets or comets.
